Configure a Socket for Server-Side TLS

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.InitSslServer, which configures the object for server-side TLS using a server certificate that has access to its private key, then listens for and accepts a TLS connection.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local socket = chilkat.Socket.new()

-- The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
-- may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
-- The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
local pfxPassword = "myPfxPassword"
local cert = chilkat.Cert.new()
local success = cert:load_pfx_file("qa_data/server.pfx", pfxPassword)
if not success then
    print(cert.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Configure this object for server-side TLS using the certificate.  The certificate must have
-- access to its corresponding private key.
success = socket:init_ssl_server(cert)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Listen for connections.  Accepted connections will use TLS.
success = socket:bind_and_listen(5000, 25)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

local connectedSock = chilkat.Socket.new()
success = socket:accept_next(20000, connectedSock)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Accepted a TLS client connection.")
